Answer:

Energy Flow in Ecosystems. Ecosystems maintain themselves by cycling energy and nutrients obtained from external sources. ... The low rate of energy transfer between trophic levels makes decomposers generally more important than producers in terms of energy flow.

Why are nitrogen oxides considered harmful to humans?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Nitrogen dioxide is an irritant gas, which at high concentration cause inflammation of the airways. ... Nox gases react to form smog and acid rain as well as being central to the formation of fine particles and ground level ozone, both of which are associated with adverse health effects.

suppopse you were going to deisgn a system for the rapid diffusion of oxygen across a phosphlipid bilayer. according to fick's l

Llana [10]

Answer:

According to Fick's law, the rate of diffusion of any substance across any barrier is directly proportional to the surface area of the membrane or any layer exposed. and the concentration of the diffusing substance available, but the rate is inversely proportional to the diffusion distance available.

Thus the rate at which oxygen will move across the phospholipid bilayer will depend on the concentration or amount per mole of the oxygen molecule hitting the phopholipid at a prticular time and how permeable the phospholipd layer is to oxygen molecules, but the rate of its movement across will be reduced as the distance between the phosphoslipid bilayer and the diffusing molecules increases.

Therefore, the concentration of oxygen should be maximised, the surface area of the phospholipid bilayer should also be maximized. the distances between the phopholipid and the vessel containing the diffusing oxygen molecules should be drastically reduced. With this Fick's law has been applied , and therefore maximum oxygen molecules can diffuse across.
